After returning home, Sang Ning exchanged a few pleasantries and asked Li Juezhou, "Do you want to come in and sit for a while?"
But Li Juezhou declined politely, "No need, Shen Fang and I will be leaving soon."
"Leaving so quickly?" Sang Ning took the food box from Li Juezhou's hands, surprised.
"Something urgent came up. I'll visit your home next time if I get the chance."
Li Juezhou's voice was deep yet exceptionally gentle, like a refreshing summer breeze brushing past her ears, soothing and pleasant.
"Alright then, wish you a safe journey," Sang Ning hoisted the food box and turned to walk into the courtyard.
Li Juezhou rubbed his nose, suddenly feeling lost in thought.
Does that online advice about keeping things ambiguous and playing hard-to-get really work?
It felt like Sang Ning just walked off decisively, without the slightest hint of wanting to make him stay.
After entering the house, Sang Ning carried the food box to the kitchen.
